Title: Improvements in Machines for the Manufacture of Artificial Silk and like Material.
Inventor: STREHLENERT ROBERT WILHELM
Filed: 1902-12-23
Granted: 1903-11-05
Abstract: 28,364. Strehlenert, R. W. Dec. 23. Yarns and threads.-Relates to machines for the manufacture of artificial silk and like material, in which a suitable solution is squirted into a conical vessel B containing a coagulating liquid, the fibres passing along a tube C, communicating with the bottom of the vessel B, and being subsequently wound on to bobbins &c. In order automatically to collect the fibres at starting or after a stoppage and conduct them along the tube C &c., the tube C and the upper part of the vessel B are connected by a tube D, in which new liquid is admitted by a bent pipe E and which enters the vessel B tangentially so as to cause the liquid therein to rotate. There is thus a continuous circulation of coagulating liquid throughout the apparatus, the excess of liquid passing away through a suitable overflow. Loose fibres may be prevented from entering the tube D from the tube C by means of a suitable grid of wire netting &c.

Granted: 1903-11-19
Abstract: 1138. Dawson, A. T., and Silverman, L. Jan. 16. Machine guns.-Relates particularly to automatic guns in which the barrel reciprocates during working, being driven back by the recoil against a recoil spring which returns the barrel to battery and operates the feed-mechanism. The invention consists in attaching to the muzzle a device for enabling the gun to be used with blank ammunition without reducing the strength of the recoil spring, and in means for reducing the width of the opening in the feed-block to correspond with the shorter length of the cartridges. Fig. 1 shows a longitudinal section of the muzzle and attached device. The casing of the muzzle device C is screwed to the water-jacket B, and has an aperture c at its front end. Within the casing is a cupshaped piston c' the rear end of which is thrust by a compressed spring c<4> against the barrel A. When the gun is fired, the gases enter the casing and force the piston c' and the barrel rearwards against the recoil spring A<1>, the motion being assisted by the spring c<4>. Fig. 6 is a side elevation of the reducing-device in position, and Fig. 4 is a plan. The outer end a<x> of the body a is bent down to correspond with one of the ears of the feed-block to serve as a guide for the cartridge belt. A plate a<1> projects laterally, so that the total width of the device is sufficient to fit the mouth of the feed-block while the width of the body a is sufficient to reduce the width of the mouth by the required amount. The device is held in position by the pawl d engaging in a recess a<2> in the underside of the body a.

Title: Improvements in Multiple-furrow Ploughs or like Cultivating Implements.
Inventor: FOWLER ROBERT HENRY
Filed: 1903-05-30
Granted: 1904-04-21
Abstract: 12,402. Fowler, R. H., Benstead, T., and Pepper, A. May 30. Ploughs; cultivators. - Relates to multiplefurrow ploughs and similar cultivating-implements in which the number of furrows, and the distance between the furrows, are independent of the width of the wheel base. The main frame a is provided at each side with pivoted wing frames c<1>, to which the shares or other tools are attached. The wings c' are connected to the wings c by an arm and adjusting-screw so that the wings c' are raised simultaneously with the wings c and yet are able to follow independently the inequalities in the surface of the ground. The frame a is carried on three wheels e, e, f, each having an independent axle. The several axles are all so connected with the draught frame m to which the haulage ropes i, i<1> are attached, that, when the frame m is turned at the headland by a pull on the slack rope, the axles are all directed towards common point, at which a pivoted leg c<5> is mounted to rest upon the ground, and the implement is turned round this leg as a pivot. Arms c<2> on the wings c, c are connected by chains n<1>, n' to levers n pivoted on the king bolt k. An arm m<2> of the frame m engages these levers, and, as the machine is turned, raises one set of wings and the shares attached to them and allows the other set to fall down into the position for work. The chains n' pass over pulleys n<2> on a pivoted lever provided with hooks, one of which engages the raised wing c and locks it in the raised position until the frame m is again swung round to change the direction of travel of the implement. The implement is steered from the hand-wheels g<1> on the shafts g<2>, on the ends of which are pinions g<3> gearing with a segmental rack g<4> pivoted on the king bolt k and having an extensioq connected by links g<6> with arms e<1> attached to the axles of the wheels e. The frame m is connected by the pin m<1> to the extension of the quadrant g<4>, and thus effects the steering of the wheels e when turning the implement at the headlands. The wheel f is mounted in a frame f<3>, upon which the frame a is adjustably supported. The frame f<2> is connected at each side to a lever h pivoted at h<1> and provided with an arm h<3> connected by a chain h<4> with the rear of the frame m so that the wheel f is turned with the movement of the frame m. The movement of the arm h<3> is limited relatively to the frame a by adjustable stops a<5>, a<5> on the frame a. The stops a<5> may be so adjusted as to cause the frame a to travel at an inclination to the line of travel of the implement and thus regulate the width of the furrows. The depth of work is adjusted by means of wheels c<7> adjustably mounted on the wings c. The king bolt k is mounted on the axle frame of the wheels e, and the frame a is connected to the axle frame in such a way that it can be adjusted relatively thereto so that the axle frame can be tilted to cause one of the wheels e to act as a furrow-wheel.
